  • Publication number: 20240241185
    Abstract: This disclosure provides an estimation method applied to a state of health of a battery, which executes a recharging to a battery when a battery voltage is lower than a threshold voltage. During the recharging, a battery state of health estimation procedure is performed from a first depth of discharge detection point to a second depth of discharge detection point. During the battery state of health estimation procedure, a voltage difference between a current battery voltage and an initial open-circuit voltage is accumulated over time from the first depth of discharge detection point to the second depth of discharge detection point to obtain an accumulation of current sampled voltage difference. An accumulation of estimated DC internal resistances can be equivalently obtained by the accumulation of current sampled voltage difference. Afterwards, the state of health of the battery can be determined based on the accumulation of estimated DC internal resistance.

  • Publication number: 20240243688
    Abstract: A motor driver having a temperature sensing mechanism is provided. A control circuit determines a time for outputting a controlling signal according to a pulse-width modulation signal received from an external pulse-width modulation circuit. A driving circuit outputs a driving signal according to the controlling signal. An output stage circuit operates according to the driving signal to output an output stage signal to a motor to drive the motor to rotate. In a temperature sensing mode, a thermal sensor circuit senses a temperature inside the motor driver to output a temperature sensing signal. An external system circuit determines whether or not the motor driver causes overheating to the motor when being adapted to the motor according to the temperature sensing signal, and evaluates whether or not the motor driver is applicable to the motor.
